Getting to know Dr. Brian Kelly

I'm a licensed doctoral-level psychologist with over 20 years of experience in several different settings. In addition to decades of experience in general practice, I have extensive experience in family and couples therapy. I also have many years of experience treating adolescents and adults with trauma and PTSD, including training and experience with EMDR. I use therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA), and Functional Family Therapy (FFT), along with other evidence-based interventions tailored to each clients’ needs.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My therapeutic approach can be best described as: collaborative, supportive, and change-based. I believe that you have the solutions to your current struggles, but you’re “too close” to see them clearly. My role is to help you clear the path. I have decades of knowledge and experience in guiding clients in navigating life’s challenges and improving their overall well-being.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Working with me, clients should expect to learn new ways of understanding themselves and interacting with the important people in their lives. Clients will find their voices, and use them in new and effective ways.
